Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and application acceleration management (AAM) computing device that modifies an obtained master playlist file such that a first set of meta information is appended to a network address of a secondary playlist file. The secondary playlist file is obtained and modified such that the first and second sets of meta information are appended to a network address of a media file. Alternatively to modifying the playlist files, first and second cookies including the first set of meta information and the first and second sets of meta information, respectively, can be used. A cache score is generated for the media file based on the first and second sets of meta information included in a request for the media file. The media file is obtained, stored in a cache as associated with the cache score, and sent in response to the request.
